We all know that India is beautiful but have you ever wondered how our country looks from space?

Recently, renowned American astronaut Scott Kelly, who was on a year-long mission with the International Space Station (ISS), shared some pictures of the southern tip of India and the Himalayas on Twitter.

Scott Kelly, along with Mikhail Korniyenko, left for the mission on March 27, 2015. Both were selected by NASA, the Russian Federal Agency and their international partners for this mission.
